We produce high-quality information guides about rare chromosome and gene disorders that are medically accurate as well as accessible to families and individuals. We would like to raise funds to create 5 new guides for newly identified conditions.

Recent advances in genomics mean new rare chromosome and gene conditions are being discovered and diagnoses are increasing. Doctors and other professionals lack specific knowledge of new conditions and are therefore unable to explain what the condition is and how a child will be affected now or in the future. Our Scientific Communications team urgently need to create new information guides to support struggling families so they can provide the best care for their child.
Our information guides cost an average of £3,000 to produce. With the help of our Matching Pledgers, our Christmas Challenge aims to raise enough to create 5 new guides, giving more families clarity on their child’s condition straight after diagnosis. We are asking our members, alongside their family and friends to dig deep and raise £7,500 over the week of 1st – 8th December this year. Each £1 donated will be matched by our pledgers up to £7,500 giving a total raised of an amazing £15,000!
